Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for connecting an optical fiber to a substrate and a method for fabricating the apparatus.
- optical fibers Modern communications systems based on optical fibers require massive data handling at both ends of the fiber at ever increasing speeds and ever decreasing costs.
- This data handling requires both optical systems such as wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and electronic systems.
- WDM wavelength division multiplexing
- the devices used to perform these tasks are high speed electronic chips and optical devices.
- the integration of optical devices of typically dozens of devices per chip is not as well advanced as the integration of electronic devices, where millions of devices can be disposed per chip. High optical losses within optical devices prevent the cascading of such devices and results in a small number of devices on a chip.
- the difficulties inherent in wavelength scale fabrication of optical devices results in low yields and high costs.
- Connecting optical fiber to integrated circuits can be accomplished through various types of butt connections to the edge or surface of an integrated circuit.
- the butt of a fiber can be connected to a planar waveguide at the edge of an integrated circuit, but this technique is most useful if the cross sectional areas of the fiber core and the waveguide are of similar size.
- An optical fiber with a larger cross sectional area can be connected to a waveguide with a much smaller cross sectional area if the butt of the fiber is connected to a diffraction grating, such as a waveguide grating coupler disposed on the integrated circuit.
- the waveguide output of the waveguide grating coupler can be reduced to a desired smaller cross sectional area through a spot size reducer.
- the packaging of such integrated circuits with optical fibers connected at roughly right angles to the surface of the integrated circuit is not very practical, since such configurations waste a great deal of space and are easy to break or damage.
- a fiber to chip coupling connecting an optical fiber to an integrated circuit A section of fiber is laid on top of the surface of the chip, where the end of the fiber has been cut at an angle to form an angled tip.
- the angled tip has a flat surface which reflects light down to a waveguide grating coupler disposed on the integrated circuit. Light is reflected off the reflective surface of the angled tip by total internal reflection.
- the waveguide grating coupler is designed to accept the slightly diverging light beam from the reflective surface of the angled tip of the fiber. Light can also propagate through the fiber to chip coupler in the opposite direction, up from the substrate through the waveguide grating and into an optical fiber after bouncing off the reflective surface of the angled tip.

- FIG. 2 is a side view of a fiber to chip coupler, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is another view of a fiber to chip coupler, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is another view of a fiber to chip coupler, according to another embodiment of the present invention.

- FIG. 1 is a side view of a fiber to chip coupler, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- Fiber to chip coupler (FTCC) 100 is made of optical fiber 110 positioned on the surface 107 of integrated circuit (chip).
- Integrated circuit 108 is made of substrate 105 and cladding layers 104 .
- Substrate 105 is made of layers 101 , 102 and 103 .
- substrate 105 is a SOI (silicon on insulator) substrate, typically used in the fabrication of CMOS integrated circuits. If substrate 105 is a SOI substrate, then layers 101 and 103 are made of silicon and layer 102 is an insulator, typically silicon dioxide.
- the present invention can be fabricated with substrates of various kinds, not just silicon based ones.
- Optical fiber 110 is made of core 111 and cladding 112 and has been cut at an angle A with respect to the core of the fiber. Cutting fiber 110 , typically at an angle less than 45 degrees, has formed flat surface 115 . An angle of less than 45 degrees is preferred in order to minimize reflections back to surface 115 from the surface 107 of chip 108 . Light 120 propagating down fiber 110 will reflect off of surface 115 and then propagate as light 121 down into chip 108 .
- Surface 115 at the fiber to air interface forms a reflective surface, which can provide total or substantially total internal reflection of light 120 out of the fiber 110 and into chip 108 .
- Light 121 reflected by surface 115 enters into chip 108 and is connected to planar waveguide 109 by waveguide grating coupler 106 .
- Surface 115 of angled tip 113 is perpendicular to the x-z plane and the longer side of the angled tip 113 is in contact with the surface 107 , so that light 121 is in the x-z plane.
- the formation of the angled tip can be achieved by polishing or laser cleaving.
- the angled end surface 115 of the fiber 110 can be metallized, by coating it with a metal such as aluminum, thus forming a mirror on surface 115 .
- a mirror on surface 115 may provide better reflection of the light 120 as compared to the internal reflection provided by the fiber to air interface at surface 115 .
- the angled end surface can also be coated with a dielectric layer or a stack of dielectric layers, with a refractive index sufficiently different from that of the optical fiber, so as not to diminish the total internal reflection occurring at the angled tip.
- waveguide grating couplers Some examples of waveguide grating couplers are discussed in U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/446,842 entitled “Optical Waveguide Grating Coupler” filed on Feb. 11, 2003, and U.S. patent applications entitled “Optical Waveguide Grating Coupler,” “Optical Waveguide Grating Coupler with Scattering Elements of Various Configurations” and “Optical Waveguide Grating Coupler Incorporating Reflective Optical Elements and Anti-reflective Elements” filed on Feb. 11, 2004, which are incorporated herein by reference.

- SMF single mode fiber
- a polarization maintaining fiber can be used to control the polarization of light in the fiber, with for example, a selected polarization of operation with the electric field oriented along the y axis.
- PMF polarization maintaining fiber
- Apparatus 100 also operates in the reverse direction, so that light 122 from waveguide 109 that enters waveguide grating coupler 106 will be directed up towards surface 115 and then reflected into the core of fiber 110 .

- Angle D is the angle of incidence of light 120 with respect to the normal 125 to surface 115 .
- Surface 115 reflects light 120 down as light 121 due to the total internal reflection (TIR) at the fiber to air interface 115 , if angle A is less than 45 degrees. According to Snell's law, light 120 impinging on dielectric interface 115 from the higher index side is totally reflected, if the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle C, as expressed in equation 1.
- the angle of incidence D of the fiber modes has to be significantly larger than the critical angle C, where D is given by equation 2.
- D 90 ° ⁇ A
- the relationship between angles D and G is given by equation 3: D>C+G (3)

- fiber 110 is positioned on top of chip 108 , looking at the fiber from the surface 115 .
- the core 111 is surrounded by cladding 112 .
- Light 121 reflected from surface 115 is directed down towards the chip 108 .
- Light 121 is somewhat different from a typical fiber mode because it is slowly diverging.
- Light 121 is also astigmatic, because the cladding and air interface as seen in FIG. 3 forms a cylindrical lens.

- Light 121 reflected from surface 115 is directed down towards the chip 108 .
- Light 121 is somewhat different from a typical fiber mode because it is slowly diverging.

- Light 120 incident on surface 115 is reflected down as light 121 at an output angle B as was discussed with respect to FIG. 2 .
- the output angle B of 8 degrees with respect to the normal 127 corresponds to an angle E of 12 degrees with respect to the normal 128 in the layer of air 114 between the fiber and the chip.
- Normal 127 is orthogonal to the cladding and air interface and normal 128 is also orthogonal to the cladding and air interface but offset to the point of origin of light ray 124 .
- antireflective coatings can be deposited on the fiber cladding and on the surface of the chip 108 . After light 124 has been received by scattering elements 106 , the light 129 will be directed into waveguide 109 in chip 108 .
- the fiber 110 has to be aligned above the grating 106 .
- One way of aligning the fiber 110 to the grating 106 is to use an active alignment system by maximizing the light throughput from fiber to chip.
- the position of the fiber in the three axes x, y and z and the three angles ⁇ (x), ⁇ (y) and ⁇ (z) can be optimized to achieve the best possible coupling.
- the alignment tolerances are similar to fiber to fiber coupling alignment.
- the x and y alignments are transverse ones with a small tolerance of typically less than 1 micron.
- the z axis alignment is longitudinal and more tolerant, such as 5 microns.
- the z axis tolerance is reduced to a smaller value.
- B is the output angle with respect to the normal as in FIG. 2 , but in the air gap 114 .
- the positioning accuracy needs to be better than ⁇ /4.
- the tolerances for the angles depend on the specific geometric factors, for example ⁇ (y) has to be controlled, so that the fiber 110 runs parallel to the chip 108 . Light reflected back to fiber 110 from a reflective fixture can be used to align the position of the fiber in the three axes and three angles.
- the fiber 110 can be held in a fixed position with respect to the chip 108 by bonding it with epoxy or by soldering the fiber.
- a section of the cladding that is not in the area of light transmission, can be metallized.
- the fiber 110 can be bonded or soldered to a pedestal, which is itself bonded or soldered to the chip or to a package that encloses the chip and the pedestal.
- Another way of bonding fiber 110 to substrate 105 is to bond or solder fiber 110 to a connector, which is then bonded or soldered to the chip or to a package enclosing the chip.
- the fiber 110 can be fed into the package from the exterior.
- a ‘gripper’ can be used to hold the tip of the fiber 110 inside the package and orient it correctly.
- the gripper is a robot that can move in all directions and rotate the fiber, as needed.
- the fixture that holds the fiber 110 outside of the package and that feeds the fiber into the package can be used by a robot to perform the alignment.
- a section of metallized fiber cladding which is sufficiently far enough from the angled tip, can be soldered to provide hermetic sealing of the fiber feedthrough.
- each of the fibers can be aligned to one pedestal with, for example, multiple grooves, which is then attached to an integrated circuit.
- a particularly advantageous aspect of the present invention is that the present invention provides an efficient, economical and space spacing coupling between optical fibers and integrated circuits.
Abstract
Description
D=90°−A (2)
The relationship between angles D and G is given by equation 3:
D>C+G (3)
Where G is the angle in glass corresponding to the numerical aperture (NA) of the fiber. For a typical SMF fiber, the numerical aperture NA=0.1 and G can be found using equation 4:
Replacing D in equation 3 with its value from equation 2 and replacing for the values of C and G and then rewrite equation 3 as equation 5:
90°−A>43°+4° (5)
And the result is that the cut angle A should be less than 43 degrees, for total internal reflection to take place at the inside of
B=90°−2A (6)
For example, if the cut angle is 41 degrees, then the output angle B will be 8 degrees using equation 6.
φG(x,y)=φF(x,y)+2 mπ (7)
where φG is the guided wave phase map and φF is the fiber mode phase map. For different values of the integer m, the positions of the lines of a grating can be derived. For example, if a butt coupled fiber with a phase map given by equation 8 is coupled to a focusing guided wave given by equation 9;
φF =k(0)n(glass)sinθx (8)
φG =βr (9)
the solutions are given by ellipses. If the grating is defined by grooves, then the groves follow these ellipses. In equations 8 and 9: k(0) is the free space wavevector of light, n(glass) is the index of the glass covering the chip, θ is the angle of incidence of light with respect to the surface of the chip, β is the propagation constant in the planar waveguide and r is the in-plane radius in polar coordinates.
